    Lite nya regler på gång, inte för att det berör oss speedare, men det kan ju ändå vara kul att hänga med, gammal regattaräv som man är..

    The Windsurfing Competition Rules(Appendix B) starts on page 56 of the 178 page PDF ISAF document: 2013 – 2016 Racing Rules of Sailing. Below is a reprint from the Formula Windsurfing Class, highlighting the rules that have changed:

    “Andrus Poksi, ISAF IJ from Estonia, has very kindly put together this short summary of changes to WCR in the RRS 2013>2016 edition. Kamen Fillyov is finalising a 2013>2016 specialist edition of the Windsurfing Competition Rules – available soon.

    Introduction
    Main changes in Appendix B are restructural. Rules in Appendix B are relocated according to rules in Parts 1-7 so it is easier and more logical now to find rules. For example, Appendix B2 corresponds to RRS Part 2, Appendix B3 to RRS Part 3, etc. There are also some very minor edits which are solely for clarification and are not detailed here.

    Definitions
    Definition Mark-Room allows a board to sail her proper course to round or pass the mark. Previous version allows to sail a proper course only at the mark. Definition Tack, Starboard or Port changed. To define board’s tack before, we had to look boards side but according to new definition we have to look competitor’s hand – which hand in normal position is closer to mast, that is the board’s tack.

    B2 Rule 16 Changing Course
    B2-16.3 is changed. Rule does not apply for slalom racing only but for all races where course to the first mark is 90 degrees or more from the true wind. Also a right-of-way board cannot change course during last one minute, instead of 30 seconds in former rule.

    B2 Rule 18 Mark-Room
    B2-18.1 last sentence clearly prescribes when rule 18 ceases to apply.

    B2 Rule 23 Capsized; Aground; Rescuing
    B2-23.2 The rule has been rewritten but with no substantial changes. Added “if possible” gives in some cases just more flexibility to capsized board.

    B2 Rule 24 Interfering With Another Board; Sail Out of Water
    B2-24.3 The old rules states that the sail must be out of the water when a board is approaching the starting line to start, which means an unclear period of time; now this rule defines the period as 1 minute before the starting signal.

    B3 Rule 31 Touching a Mark
    This rule is changed significantly which changes also the game. B2-31 just states the rule is deleted, which means a board can touch a mark and can hold on to mark as well! There is no restrictions anymore as it was in former rules which prohibits to hold on to mark. So according to new rule (deletion) a board can hold on to starting vessel and wait her start unless it is forbidden by sailing instructions.

    B4 Rule 42 Propulsion
    The text of the rule is unchanged except last sentence is added, which makes the interpretation of this rule very clear – ie significant progress shall not be made by paddling, swimming or walking.

    Rule 48.2
    There is a new rule 48.2 for boat as well as for boards – A board shall comply with IRPCAS (International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea) rule 10, Traffic Separation Schemes. Basically this rule states how to cross a traffic channels or lines.

    B5 Rule 60 Right to Protest; Right to Request Redress or Rule 69 Action
    B5-60.1(a) The words “or saw” are deleted in rule. It means a board cannot protest another board for an alleged breach of a rule of Part 2 or rule 31 (which has to be deleted as well as this rule is deleted for boards) when she just saw the incident. Also protests based on hearsay are no longer valid. She must be involved in the incident when she intends to protest.

    B5 Rule 61 Protest Requirements
    B5-61.1(a) The last sentence of the rule is changed by replacing word “immediately” to “as soon as practicable” which give a board a little bit more time than immediately to inform the race committee of her intention to protest.

    B5 Rule 62 Redress
    B5-62.1(e) The wording of the rule is changed but the meaning is same. The words “failed to keep clear” are replaced to “breaking a rule of Part 2”.

    B7 Rule 90 Race Committee; Sailing Instructions; Scoring
    B7-90.2(c) This rule allows the race committee to give oral instructions not only on the water but also on ashore. This procedure can be in force only when it is stated in the sailing instructions.

    B8 Rule A1 Number of Races; Overall Scores
    The last sentence which clarifies how to calculate the overall scores has been added to rule.

    B10 Rule 29 Recalls
    In this rule there are two errors in ISAF rule book. Rules B10-29(a) and (b) are referring to rules 29.1(a) and (b) but there are no these rules. The proper reading must be rules 29(a) and 29(b).

    Här är Appendix för vindsurfing, inkl speed reglerna (fet stil)

    APPENDIX B
    WINDSURFING COMPETITION RULES
    Windsurfing races shall be sailed under The Racing Rules of Sailing as changed by this appendix. The term ‘boat’ elsewhere in the racing rules means ‘board’ or ‘boat’ as appropriate. The term ‘heat’ means one elimination race, a ‘round’ consists of several heats, and an ‘elimination series’ consists of one or more rounds. However, in speed competition, a ‘round’ consists of one or more speed ‘runs’.
    A windsurfing event can include one or more of the following disciplines or their formats:
    Discipline Formats
    Racing Course racing; Slalom; Marathon Expression Wave performance; Freestyle
    Speed Standard Offshore Speed Course; Speed
    Crossings; Alpha Speed Course
    In racing or expression competition, boards may compete in elimination series, and only a limited number of them may advance from round to round. A marathon race is a race scheduled to last more than one hour.
    In expression competition a board’s performance is judged on skill and variety rather than speed and is organized using elimination series. Either wave performance or freestyle competition is organized, depending on the wave conditions at the venue.
    In speed competition a board’s performance is based on her speed over a measured course. Boards take turns sailing runs over the course.
    CHANGES TO THE DEFINITIONS
    The definitions Mark-Room, and Tack, Starboard or Port are deleted and replaced by:
    Mark-Room Mark-Room for a board is room to sail her proper course to round or pass the mark. However, mark-room for a board
    52
    Appendix B WINDSURFING COMPETITION RULES
    does not include room to tack unless she is overlapped inside and to windward of the board required to give mark-room and she would be fetching the mark after her tack.
    Tack, Starboard or Port A board is on the tack, starboard or port, corresponding to the competitor’s hand that would be nearer the mast if the competitor were in normal sailing position with both hands on the wishbone and arms not crossed. A board is on starboard tack when the competitor’s right hand would be nearer the mast and is on port tack when the competitor’s left hand would be nearer the mast.
    The definition Zone is deleted. Add the following definitions:
    About to Round or Pass A board is about to round or pass a mark when her proper course is to begin to manoeuvre to round or pass it.
    Capsized A board is capsized when her sail or the competitor is in the water.
    B1 CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PART 1
    [No changes.]
    B2 CHANGES TO THE RULES OF PART 2
    13 WHILE TACKING
    Rule 13 is changed to:
    After a board passes head to wind, she shall keep clear of other boards until her sail has filled. During that time rules 10, 11 and 12 do not apply. If two boards are subject to this rule at the same time, the one on the other’s port side or the one astern shall keep clear.
    16 CHANGING COURSE
    Add new rule 16.3:
    16.3 When, at the warning signal, the course to the first mark is ninety degrees or more from the true wind, a right-of-way board shall not change course during the last minute before her starting signal if as a result the other board would need to take immediate action to avoid contact.

    Rule 18.2(b) is changed to:
    (b) If boards are overlapped when the first of them is about to round or pass the mark, the outside board at that moment shall thereafter give the inside board mark- room. If a board is clear ahead when she is about to round or pass the mark, the board clear astern at that moment shall thereafter give her mark-room.
    Rule 18.2(c) is changed to:
    (c) When a board is required to give mark-room by rule 18.2(b), she shall continue to do so even if later an overlap is broken or a new overlap begins. However, if the board entitled to mark-room passes head to wind, rule 18.2(b) ceases to apply.

    Gött med några nya flaggkombinationer att använda:

    Inför start av heat
    * Röd och gul flagga = banan öppnar om 5 min

    Inför avslut av heat
    * Grön och gul flagga = banan stängs om 5 min
    * Gul flagga = pågående heat är förlängt med 15 min

    Värt att skriva ut och laminera för att klistra på seglet, ingen risk att man glömmer reglerna! Skriver man ut texten i läsbar stlk får man nog ihop till ett formulasegel?

    Jag funderar fortfarande på vad de menar med styrbord/barbord och att händerna avgör.
    Går det bra att köra med ryggen mot seglet för att få fritt fram eller?
